It is considered a renewable form of energy.

DEFINITION: State Energy Program and Special Projects- Expenditures. and two programs which have been eliminated (but have some spending during 1983-present): Solar Energy Partnership Support and Barrier Elimination (81.118, deleted in 2001) and Geothermal Technologies R & D (81.073 deleted in 1982)."

DEFINITION: Total Renewable Energy Consumption (BBtu). These numbers indicate the total consumption of all types of renewable energies including: renewable hydroelectric, ethanol, geothermal, photovoltaic and solar thermal, wind, wood and waste. Numbers are shown in terms of billions of British Thermal Units.

DEFINITION: Total Renewable Energy Produced (non-hydro, non-biomass) (BBtu). These numbers indicate how much electricity is produced from geothermal, wind, photovoltaic, and solar thermal energy sources. The numbers are in billions of British Thermal Units.

DEFINITION: Wind Energy Electricity Production (BBtu). These numbers indicate how much electricity is produced through wind energy, a renewable energy resource. Numbers are in billions of British Thermal Units.
